Dumb Question ie: Lesson Plans
This year I am in a new school and they want lesson plans in a binder. I asked what format and they said to make sure I had a motivation???
My lesson plans usually have
Aim
Standards
Do Now
Mini-Lesson
Work Period
Summary
What is motivation?

Re: Dumb Question ie: Lesson Plans
I bet you do it all the time...
Anticipatory Set - An anticpatory set is an activity which prepares and motivates students for learning. Examples of anticipatory sets include asking students to relate a personal experience related to the objective of the lesson, asking students to list information from a previous lesson, asking students to react to a picture, or answer a question pertaining to the lesson. An important thing that anticipatory set does is to grab the students not focused upon learning. By having an activity related to what will be learned, it shifts their attention to the learning process.
Anticipatory set can also establish a readiness or anticipation for what is to follow. For it to do so,it must pique their interest. Otherwise it might do the opposite and turn them off to the topic.
Some anticipatory set activities tie into what they have leaned already. If so, it will help students practice and reinforce what they have already learned. Some anticipatory set activities attempt to tie into the students' personal experiences. By doing so, it can help students see the relevance of what they are learning.

Yup, it's a DO NOW, somebody got paid a lot of money to come up with the different name for the same thing.

Re: Dumb Question ie: Lesson Plans
It can be separate from your do now or it can be combined. My do now is usually a review question. If the do now is not tied to the day's lesson than I have a separate anticipatory set. It could be a video clip, a brainstorming activity, tapping their prior knowledge, something to get them interested in the lesson. One goal I have is to make it something every student will be able to do, this way they are not tuned out or discouraged right from the start and instead they get sucked in.

Same here. My do now is typically Regents/review questions and my motivation is something to spark my students' interest (video clip, reading, connection to real life, etc)
